After the Supreme Court overturned citizens’ constitutional right to abortion in the US, there has been concern about data protection, particularly in the 13 states which have already made ending a pregnancy illegal. But what sort of data might incriminate someone, how could the authorities get hold of it, and what are the tech firms doing?
Gina Neff, professor of technology and society at University of Oxford, tweeted the day after the ruling: “Right now, and I mean this instant, delete every digital trace of any menstrual tracking.” Her message has so far received more than 200,000 likes and been retweeted 54,000 times. Like a number of other high-profile apps, Natural Cycles, which is billed as a digital form of contraception, insisted last month that all the data it stored was “safe and will be protected”. However, on Monday it told the BBC it is working on “creating a completely anonymous experience for users”.

SNP, the enemy within. Wise move to let them have a bi-annual independance vote they’ll soon be fed up with it. There’s a lot of Scots very disillusioned with Sturdgeon and the SNP I don’t think the SNP will win it.
People have been voting SNP as a pressure group, an alternative to Con/Lab Westminster to maximise financial input into Scotland, not as a route to independance. The idea that the monies from the rest of Britain will dry up will not appeal

In a week when we learn that the police failed to solve any burglaries in half the country, how reassuring that they are very swift to arrest Christian speaker Hatun Tash for the ‘crime’ of being attacked by muslims at Speakers Corner.
Notice the hyenas cheering and jeering and throwing stones as the police manhandle tiny Hatun, after SHE was attacked by muslims.
And how, at the end, they thank the police for her wrongful arrest.
The police can now be considered as part of the Jihad being waged against Britain, and enemies of the people. Thank you Cressida Dickless. Thank you Emir Khant.
Hatun last year, after being stabbed in the face by a muslim.
Again the police failed to protect her or to catch the assailant despite the attack being caught on camera and the presence of a multitude of witnesses.
A neighbour near to me had the house broken into, and the police arrived with the culprits waiting in the car near the top of the road. Neighbours mentioned they had seen the culprits to the police and that was them, the police replied we can’t just go upto people and accuse them
Not BBC.
But then again, it may be significant that this story is not on the BBC.
The D Mail report that the leader of the Rochdale grooming gang has won his ‘human right’ to stay in the UK and not be deported to Pakistan.
Great news for……errrr…….no-one. Except the lawyers.
“At an earlier hearing Judge Charlotte Welsh granted an application for anonymity for the lawyers representing Rauf, that they could not be named in any report of the hearing”
how very odd , wonder why they dont want to be named ?
Have a watch . It introduced me to a new idea . A new theory . I like that because I can go a way and think on it .
The downside is that it’s about abortion . – so all the ‘battlefield ‘ rules come in
But tucker suggests that the pro abortion lobby is partly driven by capitalism – by big corporations who encourage women into the workforce and stay there.
He even says big corporations pay female employees for their abortions .
I’ve tried (OK, not very hard…) to find a way of watching “Originals” but subscribing doesn’t work as a non USA debit card cant be used for payment… – it seems quite locked down.
Interesting tack he’s taking about companies subsidising abortion though…
Things you wont see on the BBC – another in the never-ending list…

Once again Ukraine suffers a merciless (and pointless) Russian civilian strike just as Western Leaders are meeting to discuss the conflict.
The Russians are pretty ruthless when it comes to waging war, however this makes no logistical sense at all for them plus footage of public sight-seeing the damage is not what i would expect the normal aftermath. Under massive lethal bombardment normal people would be keeping well clear and running for the shelters.
War distorts truth and reality but Something about this does not add up to me.
I think before accepting the calls for war crimes, the area should be subject to a UN style unbiased investigation to try top establish exactly what happened, there ought to be for instance recognisable fragments of a Russian missile for a start.
digg this was supposedly put out by the Ukrainian National Guard.
I’m no expert in armaments but that would be some impressive Russian tech to get a missile into someone’s kitchen that’s bigger than the hole it made in the ceiling.
An image shared by the National Guard of Ukraine shows a Russian missile crashed through the ceiling into the kitchen counter of a Ukrainian homeowner in Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city, on March 20 pic.twitter.com/mT4GMwPuFj
That shopping mall was closed 4 months ago. There were about 6 cars in the car park. It’s right next to an industrial zone and large railway station. And if a cruise missile hit a mall that small with 1,000 people in it, hundreds would be dead.
We are being lied to on an epic scale by both sides. But the BBC put Ukraines lies as the main headlines. This war is great experience to see just how far the BBC and the establishment are prepared to go to condition us then look for it in normal life.
Hello JohnC, re the shopping mall closing 4 months ago.
I’ve just looked for the latest “news” on this on the bbc website, and cannot find the incident on the frontpage… seems to be being dropped already? Usually the bbc will go on and on and on for days/weeks
I have recently been reading Frederick Forsyth’s autobiography. I never knew that at one time in his life he was a foreign correspondent for the bBBC. This was during the mid sixties. Two passages in the book caught my eye.
I quote
“I learned quickly that the BBC is not primarily a creator of entertainment, not a reporter or disseminator of hard news like Reuters (Forsyth had worked for them previously) Those came second. Primarily the BBC is a vast bureaucracy with the three disadvantages of a bureaucracy. These are sloth like inertia, an obsession with rank over merit and amatching obsession with conformism”
“Then it got worse, the upper echelons of the bureaucracy preferred a devoted servility to the policy of the ruling government, provided it was Labour, and it was.”
It would appear nothing has changed in the past 57 years.
‘Do you remember,’ he went on, ‘writing in your diary, “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four”?’
‘Yes,’ said Winston.
O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.
‘How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’
‘Four.’
‘And if the party says that it is not four but five — then how many?’
‘Four.’
The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four.’
The needle went up to sixty.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!’
The needle must have risen again, but he did not look at it. The heavy, stern face and the four fingers filled his vision. The fingers stood up before his eyes like pillars, enormous, blurry, and seeming to vibrate, but unmistakably four.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!’
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Five! Five! Five!’
‘No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please?’
‘Four! five! Four! Anything you like. Only stop it, stop the pain!’
‘The first thing for you to understand is that in this place there are no martyrdoms. You have read of the religious persecutions of the past. In the Middle Ages there was the Inquisitlon. It was a failure. It set out to eradicate heresy, and ended by perpetuating it. For every heretic it burned at the stake, thousands of others rose up. Why was that? Because the Inquisition killed its enemies in the open, and killed them while they were still unrepentant: in fact, it killed them because they were unrepentant. Men were dying because they would not abandon their true beliefs. Naturally all the glory belonged to the victim and all the shame to the Inquisitor who burned him. Later, in the twentieth century, there were the totalitarians, as they were called. There were the German Nazis and the Russian Communists. The Russians persecuted heresy more cruelly than the Inquisition had done. And they imagined that they had learned from the mistakes of the past; they knew, at any rate, that one must not make martyrs. Before they exposed their victims to public trial, they deliberately set themselves to destroy their dignity. They wore them down by torture and solitude until they were despicable, cringing wretches, confessing whatever was put into their mouths, covering themselves with abuse, accusing and sheltering behind one another, whimpering for mercy. And yet after only a few years the same thing had happened over again. The dead men had become martyrs and their degradation was forgotten. Once again, why was it? In the first place, because the confessions that they had made were obviously extorted and untrue. We do not make mistakes of that kind. All the confessions that are uttered here are true. We make them true. And above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us. You must stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Winston. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you, not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed.’
Then why bother to torture me? thought Winston, with a momentary bitterness. O’Brien checked his step as though Winston had uttered the thought aloud. His large ugly face came nearer, with the eyes a little narrowed.
‘You are thinking,’ he said, ‘that since we intend to destroy you utterly, so that nothing that you say or do can make the smallest difference — in that case, why do we go to the trouble of interrogating you first? That is what you were thinking, was it not?’
‘Yes,’ said Winston.
O’Brien smiled slightly. ‘You are a flaw in the pattern, Winston. You are a stain that must be wiped out. Did I not tell you just now that we are different from the persecutors of the past? We are not content with negative obedience, nor even with the most abject submission. When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him. It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world, however secret and powerless it may be. Even in the instant of death we cannot permit any deviation.

The BBC has reported on the increase in population in the UK from
the latest census. One of the stats I just cant’ understand
is that highest increase in population has been in Tower Hamlets
in East London. There has been a 21% increase.
Would somebody explain to me why it may be in Tower Hamlets?
Peterborough also comes very highly on the list of large
increases. Could it be that like cases of grooming and the rape
of girls it could have something to do with an increase of
the ethnicity of “Asian” folk. Of course it is just a coincidence.
And I say only a coincidence that Tower Hamlets and
Peterborough stand pretty high in the pecking order when it
comes to voter fraud.
But these ” Asian” folk have nothing to worry about . As
Colonel Gaddafi once said . That there was no need for
“Asian” terrorism . In, at the most four generations
demographics will take its natural course, And the BBC
will proudly be playing an “Asian” call to prayer, before their morning
programmes for the majority ” Asian” folk in the UK.
It is as sure as night follows day.
Combining spelling variations changes the name at the top
The ONS treats all names separately by publishing the names of babies as they are written on their birth certificates and ranking them accordingly. This has been our longstanding approach and it is consistent with international practice.
In the past it has been reported that Muhammad is the most popular name for baby boys – however this is often because people have combined the various spellings of Muhammad.
But combining spellings of one particular name distorts the list – for example combining Sophie, Sophia and Sofia on the 2015 girls list would knock Amelia off the top spot.
Gaddafi wants EU cash (£4bn) to stop African migrants {bbc.co.uk aug2010}
“Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a ‘black Europe’.
… ‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…
…
He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

But Tomo – you have to pay the rate to get ‘quality ‘ MPs …
I’d cut their pay and conditions by 10% across the board – end the Palace of Westminster – make the lords redundant and require all MPs to have their primary address in their constituency- never a shortage of politicians – lawyers or journos …
…………. Interesting piece on GBNews that the price of rail tickets in 2023 is based on the `July inflation rate – so expect a 10% hike – ouch ….
The duff MPs need winnowing out – that’s clear I feel.
I’d randomly test them on their knowledge of legislation that they’re voting on – less than a 50% correct score and they have to re-sit while their expenses and salary are withheld….

Reading rape investigation after woman attacked by four men
Thames Valley Police is appealing for information on the attack, which happened at around 22:00 BST on Monday.
The woman, in her twenties, was walking through an alleyway near McIlroy Park, Tilehurst, when all four men attacked her.
She then walked an estimated 6.7km (4.2m) to Royal Berkshire Hospital and reported the incident to police.
A spokesperson for the force confirmed there had not been a 999 call from the scene.
Det Insp Laura Corscadden added the woman was receiving specialist treatment following the attack.
She urged anyone with information, CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell camera footage in connection to the incident to come forward.
The first offender is described as a mixed race man aged in his twenties, just over 6ft tall, of skinny build, wearing a grey tracksuit.
The second offender is described as a mixed race man, aged in his twenties, shorter than 6ft tall, of slim build, with short, dark hair in tight curls, and wearing jeans and a black t-shirt.
The third and fourth offenders are described as mixed race men in their twenties with short, dark, curly hair.
Det Insp Corscadden added: “This is a concerning incident. Members of the public may see an increased police presence while we continue to investigate and I would advise anyone with concerns to please speak to one of our officers.”
Vlad thank-you for your post about another scandalous attack on free-speech at speakers corner and on Hatun specifically.
Reading your previous posts you have a very good understanding of the dynamic that is happening at speakers corner.
The met police have released an open season on Christian preaching in Londonistan.
I won’t go to speakers corner any more. Gone has all the diversity of Jewish, Chem-trail, Mad-marxists etc etc. This has been replaced by a stone-age mob.
I wonder how it an be that the Emir of Londonistan can ‘welcome ‘ the met police being put into ‘special measures ‘ .

The abortion clues that can hide on your phone
After the Supreme Court overturned citizens’ constitutional right to abortion in the US, there has been concern about data protection, particularly in the 13 states which have already made ending a pregnancy illegal. But what sort of data might incriminate someone, how could the authorities get hold of it, and what are the tech firms doing?
Gina Neff, professor of technology and society at University of Oxford, tweeted the day after the ruling: “Right now, and I mean this instant, delete every digital trace of any menstrual tracking.” Her message has so far received more than 200,000 likes and been retweeted 54,000 times. Like a number of other high-profile apps, Natural Cycles, which is billed as a digital form of contraception, insisted last month that all the data it stored was “safe and will be protected”. However, on Monday it told the BBC it is working on “creating a completely anonymous experience for users”.

A neighbour near to me had the house broken into, and the police arrived with the culprits waiting in the car near the top of the road. Neighbours mentioned they had seen the culprits to the police and that was them, the police replied we can’t just go upto people and accuse them

Have a watch . It introduced me to a new idea . A new theory . I like that because I can go a way and think on it .
The downside is that it’s about abortion . – so all the ‘battlefield ‘ rules come in
But tucker suggests that the pro abortion lobby is partly driven by capitalism – by big corporations who encourage women into the workforce and stay there.
He even says big corporations pay female employees for their abortions .
Tricky one for the Left to deal with …

Once again Ukraine suffers a merciless (and pointless) Russian civilian strike just as Western Leaders are meeting to discuss the conflict.
The Russians are pretty ruthless when it comes to waging war, however this makes no logistical sense at all for them plus footage of public sight-seeing the damage is not what i would expect the normal aftermath. Under massive lethal bombardment normal people would be keeping well clear and running for the shelters.
War distorts truth and reality but Something about this does not add up to me.
I think before accepting the calls for war crimes, the area should be subject to a UN style unbiased investigation to try top establish exactly what happened, there ought to be for instance recognisable fragments of a Russian missile for a start.

That shopping mall was closed 4 months ago. There were about 6 cars in the car park. It’s right next to an industrial zone and large railway station. And if a cruise missile hit a mall that small with 1,000 people in it, hundreds would be dead.
We are being lied to on an epic scale by both sides. But the BBC put Ukraines lies as the main headlines. This war is great experience to see just how far the BBC and the establishment are prepared to go to condition us then look for it in normal life.

I have recently been reading Frederick Forsyth’s autobiography. I never knew that at one time in his life he was a foreign correspondent for the bBBC. This was during the mid sixties. Two passages in the book caught my eye.
I quote
“I learned quickly that the BBC is not primarily a creator of entertainment, not a reporter or disseminator of hard news like Reuters (Forsyth had worked for them previously) Those came second. Primarily the BBC is a vast bureaucracy with the three disadvantages of a bureaucracy. These are sloth like inertia, an obsession with rank over merit and amatching obsession with conformism”
“Then it got worse, the upper echelons of the bureaucracy preferred a devoted servility to the policy of the ruling government, provided it was Labour, and it was.”
It would appear nothing has changed in the past 57 years.

‘Do you remember,’ he went on, ‘writing in your diary, “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four”?’
‘Yes,’ said Winston.
O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.
‘How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’
‘Four.’
‘And if the party says that it is not four but five — then how many?’
‘Four.’
The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever. This time the pain was only slightly eased.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four.’
The needle went up to sixty.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Four! What else can I say? Four!’
The needle must have risen again, but he did not look at it. The heavy, stern face and the four fingers filled his vision. The fingers stood up before his eyes like pillars, enormous, blurry, and seeming to vibrate, but unmistakably four.
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Four! Stop it, stop it! How can you go on? Four! Four!’
‘How many fingers, Winston?’
‘Five! Five! Five!’
‘No, Winston, that is no use. You are lying. You still think there are four. How many fingers, please?’
‘Four! five! Four! Anything you like. Only stop it, stop the pain!’

‘The first thing for you to understand is that in this place there are no martyrdoms. You have read of the religious persecutions of the past. In the Middle Ages there was the Inquisitlon. It was a failure. It set out to eradicate heresy, and ended by perpetuating it. For every heretic it burned at the stake, thousands of others rose up. Why was that? Because the Inquisition killed its enemies in the open, and killed them while they were still unrepentant: in fact, it killed them because they were unrepentant. Men were dying because they would not abandon their true beliefs. Naturally all the glory belonged to the victim and all the shame to the Inquisitor who burned him. Later, in the twentieth century, there were the totalitarians, as they were called. There were the German Nazis and the Russian Communists. The Russians persecuted heresy more cruelly than the Inquisition had done. And they imagined that they had learned from the mistakes of the past; they knew, at any rate, that one must not make martyrs. Before they exposed their victims to public trial, they deliberately set themselves to destroy their dignity. They wore them down by torture and solitude until they were despicable, cringing wretches, confessing whatever was put into their mouths, covering themselves with abuse, accusing and sheltering behind one another, whimpering for mercy. And yet after only a few years the same thing had happened over again. The dead men had become martyrs and their degradation was forgotten. Once again, why was it? In the first place, because the confessions that they had made were obviously extorted and untrue. We do not make mistakes of that kind. All the confessions that are uttered here are true. We make them true. And above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us. You must stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Winston. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you, not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed.’
Then why bother to torture me? thought Winston, with a momentary bitterness. O’Brien checked his step as though Winston had uttered the thought aloud. His large ugly face came nearer, with the eyes a little narrowed.
‘You are thinking,’ he said, ‘that since we intend to destroy you utterly, so that nothing that you say or do can make the smallest difference — in that case, why do we go to the trouble of interrogating you first? That is what you were thinking, was it not?’
‘Yes,’ said Winston.
O’Brien smiled slightly. ‘You are a flaw in the pattern, Winston. You are a stain that must be wiped out. Did I not tell you just now that we are different from the persecutors of the past? We are not content with negative obedience, nor even with the most abject submission. When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him. We burn all evil and all illusion out of him; we bring him over to our side, not in appearance, but genuinely, heart and soul. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him. It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world, however secret and powerless it may be. Even in the instant of death we cannot permit any deviation.

The BBC has reported on the increase in population in the UK from
the latest census. One of the stats I just cant’ understand
is that highest increase in population has been in Tower Hamlets
in East London. There has been a 21% increase.
Would somebody explain to me why it may be in Tower Hamlets?
Peterborough also comes very highly on the list of large
increases. Could it be that like cases of grooming and the rape
of girls it could have something to do with an increase of
the ethnicity of “Asian” folk. Of course it is just a coincidence.
And I say only a coincidence that Tower Hamlets and
Peterborough stand pretty high in the pecking order when it
comes to voter fraud.
But these ” Asian” folk have nothing to worry about . As
Colonel Gaddafi once said . That there was no need for
“Asian” terrorism . In, at the most four generations
demographics will take its natural course, And the BBC
will proudly be playing an “Asian” call to prayer, before their morning
programmes for the majority ” Asian” folk in the UK.
It is as sure as night follows day.

Combining spelling variations changes the name at the top
The ONS treats all names separately by publishing the names of babies as they are written on their birth certificates and ranking them accordingly. This has been our longstanding approach and it is consistent with international practice.
In the past it has been reported that Muhammad is the most popular name for baby boys – however this is often because people have combined the various spellings of Muhammad.
But combining spellings of one particular name distorts the list – for example combining Sophie, Sophia and Sofia on the 2015 girls list would knock Amelia off the top spot.

Gaddafi wants EU cash (£4bn) to stop African migrants {bbc.co.uk aug2010}
“Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi says the EU should pay Libya at least 5bn euros (£4bn; $6.3bn) a year to stop illegal African immigration and avoid a ‘black Europe’.
…
‘We don’t know what will happen, what will be the reaction of the white and Christian Europeans faced with this influx of starving and ignorant Africans,’ Col Gaddafi said…

He told them that Islam should become the religion of Europe and gave them free copies of the Koran, after he had lectured them for an hour on the freedoms enjoyed by women in Libya.”

School assessments: Nicola Sturgeon denies pupils face results ‘shambles’

A TWO-YEAR-OLD scheme that has spent more than £200 million into boosting learning amongst disadvantaged pupils in Scotland is making little difference due to its “shambolic” implementation, it has been claimed.
The Scottish Government’s Pupil Equity Funding (PEF) scheme, which puts money directly into the hands of headteachers, was launched two years ago to focus on supporting pupils in the local authorities of Scotland with the highest concentrations of deprivation.

Reading rape investigation after woman attacked by four men
Thames Valley Police is appealing for information on the attack, which happened at around 22:00 BST on Monday.
The woman, in her twenties, was walking through an alleyway near McIlroy Park, Tilehurst, when all four men attacked her.
She then walked an estimated 6.7km (4.2m) to Royal Berkshire Hospital and reported the incident to police.
A spokesperson for the force confirmed there had not been a 999 call from the scene.
Det Insp Laura Corscadden added the woman was receiving specialist treatment following the attack.
She urged anyone with information, CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell camera footage in connection to the incident to come forward.
The first offender is described as a mixed race man aged in his twenties, just over 6ft tall, of skinny build, wearing a grey tracksuit.
The second offender is described as a mixed race man, aged in his twenties, shorter than 6ft tall, of slim build, with short, dark hair in tight curls, and wearing jeans and a black t-shirt.
The third and fourth offenders are described as mixed race men in their twenties with short, dark, curly hair.
Det Insp Corscadden added: “This is a concerning incident. Members of the public may see an increased police presence while we continue to investigate and I would advise anyone with concerns to please speak to one of our officers.”
